Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Fautanu: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Troy Fautanu slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 59th pick. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Knight reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 42 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
You do not let a cornerback like Kool-Aid McKinstry reach the 43rd pick and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They will replay Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cade Stover in No. 86. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in slot 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in Round 4, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 188. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in the 247th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
